knowing that reaping time will surely
come, and that the harvest will be
plentiful. We, all of us, know Of in
stances whore small or great fortunes
have been made in realty within the
past few years. As many more small
and great fortunes will bs made in the
next few years. Why not some of us,
who now own nothing, be among the
fortune winners? The thing is easy to
accomplish if The proper course is pur-
sued. We are, when taken singly weak,
but in union there is strength! We
must combine. We must pool our
issues. We must form syndicates and
do together what we are unable to do
singly. We must get hold Of land and
we will rise in the scale with each acre
we obtain. The Industrial Bureau OPP
Grating under the recently organized
League contemplates obtaining $4,000
acres of land in Minnesota. All who
wish finger in the pie should join the
League and help the cause along. There
are only thirty-fve members who have
signed the constitution, but before an
other meeting of the League which oc-
ours next December, we hope to see
thirty-five hundred names enrolled.
The men who have charge of the
League affairs are aggressive, progress
sive men and mean business.

some weeks ago, the Chicago Conser-
vator in the last issue says:
"The Colored people OF Chicago have
too much sense to drag into the tenn
perance movement, the great bug-bear
Of American citizenship, the color line,
that is why we have no temperance or
CARNATIONS, land that is reason enough"
We hesitate to accuse anyone of in
sincerely, but that talk is all bosh.
There is not even q coloring of consis-
tsncy in it, and our quill driving friend
makes it worse and worse in every sem
tencs of the long winded editorial fol-
lowing his opening period. The Col
sored people of Chicago don't draw tho
color line? Since when1 Chicago is
full of colored churches, colored So
cieties, colored saloons, colored barber
shops, colored restaurants, colored no.
tells, colored newspapers, and last but
not least, a colored library association
in which the managers Of the Conser-
vator are leading and shining lights.
Numbers of Chicago restaurants refuse
to accommodate Colored people, barber
shops draw line strong and decided.
Chicago recognizes and draws the OBJ
no1ious color line in every conceivable
way and on all questions until it comes
to the temperance question. Now there
are not ten drunkards in all Chicago
who get fixed anywhere but in colored
saloon. If the Conservator is SO sim
cere on the temperance question, why
not open war on the colored saloon?
Why not work up sentiment among
the Colored people against the traffic?
What better way to do this than by col
'ored temperance organizations? The
only advantage (?) that Chicago Colored
people have over US, is they have more
colored saloons. Minnesota has finer
and more prosperous colored churches
than Illinois and also has far larger
proportion of Colored citizens. There
is loose screw somewhere in the ma.
chinery of our red hot prohibition
brethren. The true end of every tenn
perance movement should be to save
men from intemperancs. But it don't
seem to be their aim. We notice that
the majority of the red hot "prohibs'
have decided itching after politics. Il
it true that this great question, inyolv-
ing so much of human welfare, is only
used as subterfuge to further political
schemers and such? The Conservatol
grew eloquent few weeks ago, and
cried out to its readers, Come join the
'prohibs'' and march to the White
House." If the true aim is to rescue
, the victims of alcoholism, then why not
abandon the dreams of political prefer
ment, for the more practical work Of
saving men and women? Do the tom.
perance principles of our brothe,
merely consist in writing vehement
editorials once week, or does he
mean what he says, if SO then show il
by doing something else besides spout.

Mr.. jefferson Davis, in his reply to
Lord Wolseley's article on Gen. r.
E. Lee, proves that age and the sour
ness which follows disappointment
and ambition have not weakened his
ability of clear statement or taken
the keen edge from his satire. There
is one fault, however, that depreci-
ates all of the literary work done by
Mr.. Davis, and that is the halo which
he attempts to shed about himself.
In his studio he himself is his own
model, and, in immodest colors he
paints himself. He accepts no criti-
cisms. acknowledges no fault. Un-
forgiving, he asks not for forgiveness;

walls are covered with dead ivy, he

Value of Good Health.

Health is of such extreme value that he
who is not healthy cannot possibly be
wealthy. In his pockets, or in the vault
of some bank, he may have title deeds,
mortgage deeds and bonds; but if he can.
not work, play or enjoy his food, he is q
poor man, and the estates he claims tc
own on this globe are Of no more real
good to him than if they were situated in
the moon Civilized people, who are pos
sessed of a mania for owning things, I'M
derrate the value of their own bodies. II
is said that an Irishman who had only 81
expended the dollar for a purse Ito keep
it in"
There are many Americans who barter
their lives for fine houses to dwell in, or
swap healthy livers for gold dollars.
Good health cannot be bought in boxes,
bottles or buckets, or at SO much a pound
or foot. 1t can be obtained only by a
healthy mode of living. Without the
capacity to enjoy life. no man can be
wealthy. No kind of good appetite can
be bought with money; and the man who
has not a good appetite-for healthy
work or wholesome foods a poor man.

Just at dawn we dismounted on the
narrow, pebbly beach of the Dead sea.
The water Of this memorable lake is al
most motionless and is transparent to a
great depth. The taste is very salt and
acrid, far beyond that of the ocean, and
it is very irritating to any mucous mem.
brane with which it comes in contact.
This is due to the large amount (25 per
cent? of sodium, potassium and magne-
sum salts it contains, which also pre-
vent animals or plants of any kind living
in it and give it a specific gravity so high
that we did not sink lower than to the
shoulders when standing erect in it. The
human body floats without exertion on
the surface, and can only be submerged
with difficulty, but swimming is un-

Mr.. Labouchere relates this story of
Bishop Wilberforce, which has not before,
he thinks, been printed. The bishop was
riding in n of the old fashioned broad
gauge railway carriages and was seated
at one end of it when he heard a trucu-
lent voice at the other end exclaim: 81
would dearly like to meet the Bishop of
Oxford. / will be bound l would puzzle
him." Very well" replied the bishop
to the speaker, who had not perceived
him, "now is your time, for l am that
person" The man was rather taken
aback, but quickly recovering said, ''Nell,
my lord, can you tell a plain man a plain
way to get to heavenY" Certainly"
replied the bishop; nothing is more
easy. You have only to turn at once to
the right and go straight forward"
